Some homes in Sunnybank get ants every summer, no matter how clean the kitchen is. That usually means the yard has several colonies close to the house, and new ones move in as old ones are cleared. Ant control is aimed at these repeat problems. It covers both the inside of the home and the outside zone where ants live and travel. Homes that back onto parks or bushland tend to see more activity, since colonies there keep spreading toward gardens.
The crew we book looks at the whole property rather than a single trail. They check where the ants are coming in, how many nests there are in the lawn and garden beds and whether trees, vines or mulch are giving the ants a bridge into the house. From there, they combine baits inside with treatment around the base of the walls, the paths and the garden edges, so ants meet it on the way in and carry it home.
- Baiting along trails in kitchens, bathrooms and laundries
- Treatment around outside walls, weep holes and doorways
- Lawn and garden bed treatment near the house
- Checks of trees, vines and plants touching the walls or roof
- Tips on mulch, paving gaps and water leaks that draw ants in
Many people in Sunnybank book ant control in early spring, before numbers build up for summer, and again later in the season if the trails return. The timing is up to you, and the crew can suggest what suits your home once they see it. Keep children and pets off treated outdoor areas until the crew says they can go back, usually once it has dried. Call 07 3543 7770 to book ant control.
